An exceptional, museum-quality find for collectors, designers, and historical textile enthusiasts. This is an intact, uncut bolt (rouleau) of authentic, hand-loomed homespun fabric dating back to the 1800s, sourced directly from France. 100% Organic Homespun Hemp / Heavy Flax Linen Blend. Beautiful, unbleached antique oatmeal / ecru / off-white color.
Woven entirely by hand on a traditional village or family farm loom, this heavyweight textile was originally part of a bride's dowry (trousseau). It showcases a gorgeous, highly textured weave filled with the natural slubs, irregularities, and organic charm that modern machines simply cannot replicate.
Whether you are looking to preserve it as a historic artifact, use it for period-correct historical costuming, or elevate your home with rustic farmhouse upholstery, drapery, and high-end table runners, this textile offers unmatched durability and a stunning tactile presence.
Excellent antique condition for its age. This bolt remains structurally sound, thick, and remarkably strong. Sold by the yard, we have 13 yards available. Cut as ordered.
Care instructions -
Because it is a robust, natural fiber, it can be gently soaked in warm water with a mild, neutral textile detergent (such as Orvus or Synthrapol) and air-dried. It softens beautifully with each subsequent wash.
